CHAPTER 8 <br /> Section 8. 04 Procedure <br /> Subd. 2 This states that if a proposed public <br /> improvement project is to be paid for by <br /> less than 100% special assessments a <br /> majority of voters who voted for Mayor in <br /> the last regular municipal election may <br /> petition against either the improvement <br /> or the assessment formula or both. I <br /> assume that the thought here was that <br /> property taxes might be used, along with <br /> assessments, to pay for the improvement. <br /> As a consequence the general public may <br /> have a say in the project through the <br /> petition process. The property tax is <br /> not the only source of financing for <br /> public improvement projects. Other <br /> sources include,but are not limited to: <br /> Municipal State Aid(MSA) Construction <br /> Allotments, monies which may be left in <br /> another public improvement project after <br /> the improvement has been completed, <br /> monies which may be left in a bond fund <br /> after all the bonds have been paid, and <br /> storm water management fees. Should the <br /> voters have the right of petition if non <br /> property tax dollars are used? <br />
